© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2000. A new probabilistic background model based on a Hidden Markov Model is presented. The hidden states of the model enable discrimination between foreground, background and shadow. This model functions as a low level process for a car tracker.Aparticle filter is employed as a stochastic filter for the car tracker. The use of a particle filter allows the incorporation of the information from the low level process via importance sampling. A novel observation density for the particle filter which models the statistical dependence of neighboring pixels based on a Markov random field is presented. The effectiveness of both the low level process and the observation likelihood are demonstrated.
